WHIP-SOCKET.

No. 859,389. Specification of Letters Patent. Patented July 9, 1907.- Application filed May 10, 1906. Se a NO- 316,207-

To all whom it may concern: into a recess 11 in the fixed jaw 1. In order to hold Be it known that I, ALEXANDER KORMIL, a citizen the arm 8 of the spring securely within the groove 9 of the United States, residing at Goldendale, in the transverse pins 12 are employed which connect the two county of Klickitat and State of Washington, have sides of the groove and bear against the outer face of 5 invented certain new and useful Improvements in the spring.-

Whip-Sockets, of which the following is a specification. This invention relates to an improved whip socket which is so designed as to comprise few and durable parts which can be cheaply and economically manu- 10 factured and which can be easily and quickly assembled. V

To this end, the device consists essentially of two jaws which are pivot-ally connected to each other and a spring member which is peculiarly constructed and It will thus be apparent that in assembling the various parts of the socket, the short arm of the spring 7 is thrust through the opening in the movable jaw so as to bring the long arm 8 at the base of the longitudinal groove 9 and the securing pins 12 are then inserted in position. The movable jaw 2 can then be placed in its position with relation to the fixed jaw so that the short arm 10 of the spring engages with the recess 11 of the fixed jaw and the two jaws are then secured together by means of the pin 6. The whip socket is then completely assembled and may be secured in position upon any suitable support as may be desired by means of the lateral flanges 4.

For a full description of the invention and the merits thereof and also to acquire a knowledge of the details of construction of the means for effecting the result, reference is to be had to the following description and 20 accompanying drawings, in which:
